We want BJ's to be a place where the moment you leave is the moment you plan on coming back. We pride ourselves in our craft and attention to detail. Our guests come here for our award-winning handcrafted beer. They come here for the Southern California twist we've put on the Chicago-style deep dish pizza. And they come here for our Pizookies®, our world-renowned dessert. But above all we know people come here to make their good times better. So in many ways we haven't just crafted a brand, but a mindset. And our guests are the reason for this.

    It was an amazing 1st time experience for us, where we were so well taken care of by our server and awesome food from starters to dessert. We were given a nice recommendation on the red wine we ordered which complemented so well with our food. Every dish was beautifully served and taste was so so good, we are looking forward to come back again when we are back in LA. Thank you so much for the experience!

    Loved red lobster 🦞 it was super busy on Friday Valentine's Day but people were trying to get a table just walking in. OpenTable really saved the day and we were seated within 10 minutes. The appetizers and drinks came out quick, but the soup was a little cold by the time the feast came out much later, I wish we knew so we could have gotten the soup while hot! T My picture keeps falling to o upland So I keep getting new edits this is my fourth try, fifth try no photo this time so I stop getting reminders. It won't let me upload a review without a picture?
